Background:
Cathy Krekus-Kern graduated from Richmond Heights High School in 1978, where she participated in choir, plays and other activities that involved singing and music. During this
time she was also a member of the Cleveland Orchestra Children's Chorus and the All Ohio Youth Choir, which performed at the Ohio State Fair, among other venues.
She joined outside groups and shared her musical talents with them. She was Grand Soloist for Ohio Rainbow and sang at Ohio Events for both Rainbow and DeMolay. After graduation she continued to sing at various events. The last time she sang in public was in October of 2003 when she sang at the installation of officers for the Grand Lodge of Ohio.
